BTW, even if an app requires all sorts of registry settings, that is still no excuse. Have a config file, and when the app starts up, it looks for the registry settings. If not there, it reads the config file, and sets the registry settings. I.e. it self-installs.
I think that's what most applications on OS X do. They usually store configs in ~/Library/Preferences but they don't need an installer for that. On the other hand, the configs are just plain text in the plist format.
